Darley Abbey Historical Group

The Darley Abbey Historical Group was formed in 2004 and brings together people from all walks of life who enjoy a common interest in the topic and especially the long and unique history of our village and its surroundings.

New members are always welcome and we offer a varied programme of events throughout the year – with talks on a wide range of subjects and a number of visits to sites of historical interest. The meetings take place on the 3rd Friday of the month and we charge a small fee of £1 for members and £3 for visitors.

Additionally, the Group has been instrumental in promoting the village and the part it plays in what is now designated as the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. In 2017 we held an archaeological dig which received county-wide acckaim.
